Word has it that there are quite a few players skating at the iceplex.

 

Burmi Petan Little Perreault Pardy Thorburn Wheeler Stuart Kostalek Stafford Ladd Scheif Lowry Ehlers are all supposed to be there..... Eakins and another 10 or so non-Jets too.

 

It's starting...

Basically a week away from the Jets first game at the young stars classic in Penticton.

 

 

 

Game 1 Calgary vs. Winnipeg Sept. 11 5:00pm
Game 2 Vancouver vs. Edmonton Sept. 11 8:30pm
Game 3 Calgary vs. Edmonton Sept. 12 8:30pm
Game 4 Vancouver vs. Winnipeg Sept. 13 3:00pm
Game 5 Edmonton vs. Winnipeg Sept. 14 12:30pm
Game 6 Vancouver vs. Calgary Sept. 14 4:30pm 

Zajac is one also.

Anyone know who else is skating in the peg?

Zajac. Garbut. Others also. Ryan Reaves. Basically anybody who is from and lives here in the off season

I am guessing Toews isn't there seeing as 1290 talked to him today and I think he mentioned he was at LOW.  Hamonic there?

No

De Leo/Harkins and Petan with Ehlers on one line and  Kosmachuk and Lemieux with Copp on another .... nice.

It's just unofficial practices really.... No need to look in to the line combos at all... However if one was going to do that... Lemieux and Copp on one line together? That could be 2/3 rds of our 4th line this year... 

Kosmachuk might make the team before Lemieux...

Doubt it highly. 

There's a chance Kosmo plays before Christmas 2016.

Lemieux will play for the Colts this year and probably start the year in the AHL next year.

Kosmo will be in the AHL this year, still has a way to go. Lemieux will go back to juniors for another year, definitely a very good prospect future Jet down the road.

Kosmo has a chance of playing before Christmas 2016.

McCambridge said he came on strong in the 2nd half of the season last year. Another good season maturing with the Moose and he might get some 4th line time before the end of 2016 on the big team.

I think Lemieux has a better chance of cracking the lineup and sticking for longer and have a bigger role to play but I don't necessarily think Lemieux makes the team first. Those two wingers with Copp would be a nice 4th line or Lowry between Lemieux and Harkins would be a nice 3rd. Frickin hockey can't start soon enough.

Agreed both will Jets in the future, they will not be rushed, just continue to learn and get better.

I'm not sure Kosmo makes the team but Lemieux will.

Lemieux will be on the 4th line thus year. Book it.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

bet?

No

Lemieux will be on the 4th line thus year. Book it.

 

Highly optimistic 

I wonder if we sign this kid Jiri Fronk was supposed to be drafted but slipped through. Is he this year's sleeper?

Isn't he like 23 24

I just don't see Lemieux in the lineup to start... or Kosmachuk.

 

Already adding Copp and likely Ehlers...  Armia will be a possible third rookie starter because his entry level contract is on the clock, I believe.

 

Expecting Thorburn-Copp-Peluso to start the season

Ehlers, Morrissey, Armia, Copp and Petan are the only rookies I see with a good chance of craking the lineup. No way all 4 will make it. How many will? I think Morrissey has a good chance of staying with the club but not as good a chance as Ehlers. If I were a betting man, I would say 3 forward spots are open. Ehlers, Armia, Copp and Petan along with Peluso, Thorbs and Halischuk are all vying for these spots. Fraser spends the year with the Moose.

 

This means 4 players will not fill these spots. I honestly think Thorbs, Peluso and Hali (not often though) will take up about 90-100 games. This leaves Ehelrs. Armia, Copp and Petan for just under two spots. I think Petan starts with the Moose and so does Copp. Armia gets a shot at the big team to see if he can stay. I am hoping Morrissey has a great camp and pre-season and makes the big team right from the start. Probably wrong on Copp/Armia but who knows.

21 played one year USHL was draft eligible put up a lot of points played on the line with a Jet draft pick Erik Foley.
